NoPlaceLikeNebraskaPKoch Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hey guys. I did it! It's live! (Sounds like you've already heard, eh?) In any case, here is what I just posted: The wait is OVER! I proudly introduce to you over 1,500 delicious pages of 90's Husker Championship-freaking-awesomeness in "NO PLACE LIKE NEBRASKA: Anatomy of an Era, Vols. 1 & 2"! (sold separately) Many thanks to all the coaches, players,... staffers and fans for opening up their hearts to me. There will never be another book like this one. *Order from the links below (rather than the Amazon page) and your contribution to the Team Jack Foundation will DOUBLE. GBR!!! Here are the links: Volume 1: https://www.createspace.com/4365183 Volume 2: https://www.createspace.com/4371065 "Paul Koch was associated with our football program during some exceptional years and Paul has, through extensive interviews, obtained unusual insight into those years of Nebraska Football. His book provides an excellent understanding of what made those teams exceptional." –Tom Osborne Quote Link to comment
NoPlaceLikeNebraskaPKoch Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 The Kindle edition is still working through a few kinks but I hope to have that out in the next week. As for either version, they will both be exactly the same so there are no hard choices to make. BOJ: There are over 100 chapters. Too many coaches and players and staffers to name here...but you know most of the usual suspects. Moirane: LOL Don't I wish! Okaive: I was just glad to finally finish the version I ended up with. Landloard: Let me see what I can do about a Huskerboard discount for the Kindle when it comes out. I'm trying to figure out how to do that now. Knapplc: thanks bud. You may be the first person in history to order! All Hail Knapplc!!! Just make sure you ordered both Volume 1 AND Volume 2. (They sell seperately, unfortunately) Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Knapplc: thanks bud. You may be the first person in history to order! All Hail Knapplc!!! Just make sure you ordered both Volume 1 AND Volume 2. (They sell seperately, unfortunately) You stop that right now. His ego is already too big for this board Good luck with your book sales. I might be picking them both up for my dad, if I can convince him to read... books lol 1 Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ordered both volumes. GBR 1 Quote Link to comment

okaive Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 So no Hard Back for this book? Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ordered both books from your links. I figured Jack will use the money more then Amazon (they are $7 cheaper, but worth the cause). Quote Link to comment
NoPlaceLikeNebraskaPKoch Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 That's very generous of you okaive. I and Team Jack thank you. Funny story, but when I first talked to Jack's father Andy we both came to realize that his boyhood neighbor was my big brother's college roommate at NU in the early 80's. And they still hunt turkey's together every year. Small world, huh? As for the paperback/hard copy thing...I would have loved some hard copy covers but the cost would have been driven up dramatically to do so...and I wanted to keep the volumes as affordable as I possibly could so everyone could enjoy them without having to bust the bank or have the old lady/old man complain that they spent too much on books LOL **Plus, I'm thinking that many people will be giving them as gifts this coming Christmas and the $24.98 price range is just about the gift giving cost that many find acceptable.....I'd love to hear yours and anybody else's comments after you get the book and would LOVE if y'all could give them a favorable review on Amazon. **By the way, just wait to you get Volume 2...it has a photo in there that only four people in the world had seen until this publishing....a little inside-the-team joke that involves a dirty little prank and the University of Oklahoma Sooners' end zone. LOL GBR!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Whoo hoo!! Time place my order here asap! Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Just make sure you ordered both Volume 1 AND Volume 2. (They sell seperately, unfortunately) Thanks for the hint. I believe I ordered just the first volume. I'll order the second from your site. Thanks for the links! Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Paul, do you know the physical dimensions of the books? Just out of curiosity. Set on buying them, but waiting until I'm moved and know exactly where I'm at financially before I do. Quote Link to comment

Flood Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Is there a Kindle link? I am moving into the future and prefer E-books now. I did search Kindle and Amazon with no luck. Let me know, I'd like to order ASAP. Thanks Quote Link to comment
NoPlaceLikeNebraskaPKoch Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'm tweaking the kindle version now. It has to be converted to a MOBI file after InDesign software is used..a real pain in the rear but hopefully worth the effort. For some reason photos and text were overlapping. As for dimensions, both volumes are 7.44" w x 9.69" h x2.5" thick and about 3.6 lbs. LOL Quote Link to comment
Flood Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Thanks for the update! I'll have both editions the moment they are released and I see a link here. Great stuff! Quote Link to comment
